Safeguarding a 70 Billion Connected IoT Device Landscape by 2026 Requires an Advanced Three-Pronged Device-to-Cloud Security Approach
07.08.2025 - 18:04:24In addition to embedded security in device design and cloud provider security offerings, end-users need to ensure the implementation of robust authentication practices, especially given the nature of remote access and remote work regarding the IoT environment. In such an environment, Amiri explains, "Security vendors need to include cloud security solutions at the forefront of their marketing strategies. Emphasizing cloud solutions is fundamental in a market where IoT devices increasingly rely on the cloud for storage, data handling, computation, remote management, and updates." Digicert provides IoT threat detection, offering secure keys through on-premises or cloud-based Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) and generates comprehensive Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) to access visibility into software deployed in the IoT environment. Infineon's CIRREN Cloud ID chip-to-cloud-security solution extends trust from IoT device chips to the cloud, offering public key certificates via the CIRRENT console.
IoT security technology is already experiencing a surge in demand, which will probably accelerate if new regulations for IoT and cloud connections are passed. A case in point is a recent Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) mandate for medical device manufacturers in the U.S. ABI Research spoke to SBOM service providers, and they unanimously believe regulation has been a significant driver for their services.
"An explosive increase in IoT connections and devices is evident in the next three to four years. North America and the Asia region show the highest level of growth, followed by Western Europe. These will be the largest markets for IoT and cloud security solutions. Traditional markets for IoT security solutions have been the consumer, financial, enterprise, and government verticals. Yet automobile, healthcare, and manufacturing have seen a strong push for IoT security," Amiri concludes.
These findings are from ABI Research's Device to Cloud: Security for IoT Device Management application analysis report.
